Pregnancy journal review

Pregnancy journal - BaeTheLabel

Polaroid camera - Amazon

Plant - Gift

A few months ago I came across a beautiful pregnancy journal from Australian store Bae The Label.

The stylish pregnancy journal is a great way to document your journey and store all your keepsakes like ultrasound photos and week by week bump pics which I have been doing using polaroid images as they're the perfect fit for the journal.

The journal is a compact in size and small enough to go in your handbag (12.5cm x 18.5cm) but sturdy with a vinyl hard cover and a ribbon bookmark.

The modern design is the biggest draw for this pregnancy journal. Unlike some pregnancy journals with baby pink and blue pastel colours, the beautiful black and white striped cover with gold text really sets it apart. The 110 interior pages are beautiful as well, containing a weekly diary of your entire pregnancy from week one, all the way up to week 40.

What I love best about the journal is its inspirational quotes and light-hearted and fun writing prompts like: "The ultrasound shows it's a...", "Hooray, half way!" or "You move the most at..." I also love how each week, you get a sense of your baby's approximate length and weight from conception to birth with comparisons to fruit and vegetables. For example, at 27 weeks, your baby is the size of a cauliflower - really sweet!

This pregnancy journal is a true, modern keepsake and an ideal gift for mothers-to-be. It's lovely reading through the journal and reflecting on my pregnancy journey so far and I would definitely recommend to other first time mothers too!
